Santa Claus brings poor Rudolph to the vet. He says to the vet, “Doctor, please do something for my Rudolph. His nose won’t light up.” The vet walks out of the room and returns with a pet carrier. He places the pet carrier next to the reindeer, opens it and out steps a cat. The cat walks around the reindeer and sniffs it. The cat then walks back into the carrier. The animal doctor takes it out of the room and returns. He hands Santa Claus the bill. Santa gasps, “$350 dollars! You didn’t do anything for my Rudolph and you’re charging me $350 dollars?” The vet shrugged and replied, “That's the usual charge. $50 dollars for the office visit and $300 dollars for the CAT SCAN.”

　　圣诞老人带着可怜的Rudolph到了兽医诊所。他对兽医说，“大夫，请帮帮我的Rudolph吧，他的鼻子不红了！”。兽医走到房间外，拿了一个宠物笼回来。他把宠物笼放在那只驯鹿的身旁，打开笼子，里面慢慢踱出一只猫。那只猫绕着驯鹿走了几圈，深深吸了口气，然后就回到笼子里去了。兽医将笼子拿回房间外，然后回到屋里，他交给圣诞老人一张帐单。圣诞老人气吁吁地说，“350美元！你根本还没治疗我的Rudolph，还向我要350美元？”兽医耸了耸肩，回答道，“这只是常规费用，其中门诊费50美元，猫扫描费300美元。”
